Original title: Argentina beat Colombia and Brazil on penalty kick in the final
The second semi-final of the America’s Cup was held at the Brasilia National Stadium on the evening of the 6th. Messi’s Argentina team drew 1:1 with Colombia in regular time, and finally eliminated Colombia through a penalty shootout, and met the host Brazil in the final .
The Argentine team still adopts the tactics of aggressive offense at the start. In the 6th minute, Messi assisted Lautaro to score the first goal for the Argentine team. After conceding a goal, the Colombian team actively counterattacked and tried to tie as soon as possible. Although the score was still 0:1 at the end of the first half, the Colombian team has created many excellent opportunities.
Colombia continued to attack aggressively in the second half. Their efforts paid off in the 61st minute and Luis Diaz equalized the score. After returning to the draw, Argentina woke up like a dream and began to resume offensive, but it was too late. The score of 1:1 was maintained to the end and the game entered a penalty shoot-out.
In the penalty shootout, Argentine goalkeeper Martinez saved three Colombian penalties. Therefore, although the Argentine team played in the second round, DePaul kicked the ball away, the penalty shootout ended in a 3:2 victory in Argentina. .
Martinez, the hero of this game, thanked the entire team in an interview after the game. He said: “Due to the new crown epidemic, our game has many restrictions. Players cannot meet with their families. Argentina gave up being the host and the game was held in Brazil. Later we had more air travel than originally planned. So this is a 70-person team victory. We are all for a dream. What could be better than playing the final with the host in Brazil?”
Speaking of the finals, Martinez said: “Brazil is a great team. They have been candidates for the championship from the first day of the match, but we also have good coaches and the best players in the world (Messi). We will win.”
The final between Brazil and Argentina will be held at the Maracanã Stadium in Rio de Janeiro on the 10th. Previously, Peru and Colombia will compete for third place in this Copa America on the 9th. (Reporter Zhao Yan Chen Weihua)
